Nature’s Children | BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. WIPFTS are the bird speedsters of the air. The Cloud swift | is our fastest fiyer. His speed | is about 70 miles an hour and without much effort he can increase it to 100. These birds do not have to land for refueling, for they are [| only interested in insects caught on | the wing. | Swifts were the first aviators to be | seen looping the loop. And these | fellows do not check their speed when | doing this difficult stunt. In this | family you will find the most air- | minded of all our birds. | It would be interesting to know | how much time and ammunition have | been used trying to shoot a swift. | Grouse and ducks are very swift fiyers, | but they are slow beside the mem- | bers of the swift tribe. ' These birds are like their neigh- bors, the woodpeckers, in their ability to cling to upright surfaces. They also press their tails against the | vertical surfaces for additional sup- | port. . | Swifts are built along streamlines. They have small bodies, light-weight | feet, small, compact feathers and lorfg wings. Even their bills are narrow and small. But the mouth is wide and ready to catch the insects cruis- ing in the air and in the path of the speeder. The color scheme of these friends of ours is a sooty-black, with white patches and a whitish throat and | under parts. The long tail is forked, the feathers narrow and stiff, but | spineless. The iris of the eye is dark brown. Many have confused the swifts and swallows. They do resemble each | other at first glance, but typical | swifts rest by clinging to the insides |of walls of hollow trees, chimney faces, cliffis or hanging fronds of palm or moss. Their claws are so sharp and strong that they can even hold fast to almost smooth surfaces. If you have the opportunity to count them, you will discover that swifts have but 10 tail feathers, while swal- lows possess 12. No doubt you have heard of the unusual nests made by the cousins of our swifts. The cement they manufacture for anchoring the nests and for gluing fogether the twigs and bark is eagerly sought to be made into soups. Our swifts form their bassinets with twigs, vegetable matter and a few feathers. These building materials are held together with the same | sticky viscid secretion as is used by their foreign cousins. Our swifts have to make only one nest for their in- fants, for we do not go in for birds’ nest soup. Sometimes the poor swift mothers abroad are compelled to make several cradles. The last one has barely enough mucilage to hold the nursery tegether. | The white-throated swift lays from two to four pure white eggs. Her | babies are ‘nudists, as is the custom | of swift babies. They are soon cov- | ered, however, and depend entirely upon their mother for two weeks. Then they become brave, leaving the nest, and cling to the wall just be- low it. As a singer, the swift rates low. It chatters and squeaks most de- terminedly. Their combats are in the | air and they hold fast to each other | as they comehurtling through space. You are sure there will be a terrible crash. But the swifts relax their hold upon each other in time to save themselves. Back into the sky they go and, when sufficient height has been reached, continue to struggle with each other. It may be a friendly tussle and it may be the only way they can settle a dispute. It would surely make you famous if you could solve this mystery. (Copyright, 1936.) Jolly 'Polly BY JOS. J. FRISCH. A Little Chat on English.

Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Riddles of the Mind. FOR those who make a superficial | study of mental life, the whole science of psychology appears to be a bundle of riddles. For those who make a careful study of psychology as a science, these riddles may be simpli- fled and classified so that they appear no more unsolvable than the problems of any other science. In other words, a multiplicity of wonders is reduced to a few. The biggest riddle in psychology. from a layman’s point of view, is that of finding a definition for mind. For centuries all persons have supposed | that one’s mind is one thing and one’s | body another. Two parts to Nature. ' ‘These parts closely attached in space, but widely divergent in natural quali- iies. Traditionally, your mind is some- thing that does things for you. The mind controls the body, and as such may be regarded as a prophecy of what one may yet do. The scientist has reduced this tradi- tional riddle to the following: The mind is not separable from the body. Mind and body are one and the same thing. The mind is the body in ac- tion—the body attempting to make economical and successful adjustments to a very great number of possible ad- justments. Mental phenomena are merely the physical phenomena that ‘we can not observe with our eyes. (Copyright, 1936.) WHYA PRIVATE SCHOOL? sion of competent teachers.

Intrinsically, “bosh” is Turkishy in which tongue it means empty, worth- less, g It achieved almost instantaneous popularity in the English language upon the publication in 1834 of best- seller novel, “Ayesha” by Morfer. In this work, “bosh” appeared frequently in the sense indicated. \ A typical illustration of its use by Morier is in the passage: “The parts (of the Koran) which are taken from the Christian Bible are divine; (the other parts) are spu- rious, They are bosh—nothing.” (Copyrisht, 1936.) Zulu Army Powerful. At the close of the eighteenth cen- tury, the African king Tshaka or- ganized his Zulu army after that of Europe's, regimented life so that every youth was a soldier for life, divided the girls of his people according to age and at an annual festival, granted | permission to the warriors of a partic- ular regiment to marry the girls of a particular class, alP other marriages being strictly forbidden. That ter- rible Zulu army is said to have num- bered 100,000 men, and was the scourge of Southeast Africa, “Y'VE tried all thase ordinary dressings.

CURTIS NICHOLSON. lP YOU are one of those forthnate persons who are never uncertain as to the proper uses of “who” and “whom,” you are to be congratulated. They are misused every day in the year and often by individuals who should know better. It is not ancora- mon to see them used incorrectly in the newspapers, too. In & test, one sentence read as follows: “My brother as well as I and Janeare interested in whom will be at the party.” Apparently some person thought that “whom” was the object of the preposition “in.” But this word should have been changed to “who,” because it is the subject of the verb “will be.” ‘The object of “in” is the whole clause “who will be at the party.” Just re- member that “who” and “whom” are dependent, as to case, on their rela- tionship to other words, verbs and prepositions, in the clauses in which they stand. . “Are” is incorrect because the sub- ALL youngsters love to hear Kellogg’s Rice Krispies crackle in milk or cream.
